to tell you the story of my life, where do i begin? at the beginning? at the most painful part that changed the course and trajectory?
what i know for sure, is that i came to theory because i was hurting.
i came to theory because i insist that our pain is collective, structural, not of our own making, and is not just an exploration of our own wounds. my theory is art, it is story telling, it is bearing witness, and it is evidence that all the terrible things that happen to us, are not our fault.
if you’re here for the first time, welcome. it is mostly an exercise of writing; of thinking through the most vulnerable parts of my life. i write like some learn to dance – awkwardly, vulnerably, and sometimes sweaty.
most importantly:
my thoughts here are a testament that says: even when the truth isn’t hopeful – the telling of it is.
bitterly yours,
chase
